In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic is back in action after three full days of rest, traveling to New England to take on the Eastern Conference's top team in the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics are coming off a win last night against the Cleveland Cavaliers and have beaten them twice since the Magic did so on Monday night. Being on the second half of a back-to-back could be a disadvantage for Boston, and Orlando could take advantage.

Should the Magic win tonight, it will be the first time all season a team has beaten the Celtics at home. And while it would be a surprise, it isn't something we haven't already seen before. The Magic beat the Celtics three weeks ago on Nov. 24 in Orlando's final In-Season Tournament game.

During that game however, Jrue Holiday was out with an injury and Kristaps Porzingis left midway through the game with an injury himself. Both of those players, along with almost every Celtic, appear healthy for tonight's game. The Magic also could be getting healthier as point guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is questionable after missing over a month's worth of action.
